Fletcher still has a chance if the Bears go to the Super Bowl.

Yeah, I seen that. That is awesome. He belongs there, no doubt. The whole thing with Fletcher is extremely frustrating. He just keeps playing incredible football never missing a game and is overlooked year after year. WTF?!?!

Am I wrong to think Fletcher should go in ahead of 'Rak?

They're both awesome players, but Fletcher seems like a bigger impact player (Orakpo could be if he wasn't clothes-lined every play).

When you look at his numbers (especially how favorably they compare to Ray Lewis'), and especially his consecutive games played streak (which in my opinion as a middle linebacker is just as if not more impressive than Favre's), I think he has a legitimate shot at going to the hall of fame, and more than that I think he deserves to go.

I think Fletcher will need a super bowl ring in his resume, in order to make him a good candidate for HOF..

Not really...many defensive players get in without a SB ring. I think that "requirement" really gets pinned on QBs mainly.


Just look at the last 3 years, defensive players without a championship:
Andre Tippett
Bruce Smith
Rickey Jackson
John Randle
Derrick Thomas
Dick LeBeau


Yeah there are some major names on that list, but Fletcher has some of them beat I think.


Fletcher has one already though, then a long, consistently great career...plus that games played streak.

[GridIron26]

Oh I didn't know that.. It would be absolutely great for Fletcher if he gets in HOF, only because he basically proved everyone wrong..

Buster, you are probably right about the QB part..

Redskins add a pair of Pro Bowlers | ProFootballTalk

Fletcher gets the nod!

[Longtimefan]

Redskins linebacker London Fletcher has been named to the Pro Bowl roster, replacing Brian Urlacher, who suffered an injury in the Chicago Bears' loss to the Green Bay Packers in the NFC championship game.

"I am extremely honored to play in the Pro Bowl," Fletcher said in a statement released by the Redskins. "I am very excited to make the trip to Hawaii. I would like to thank all of my teammates, coaches, fans and everyone else who played a part in getting me here."

He'll join Brian Orakpo, who replaces Clay Matthews Jr., of the Packers, and DeAngelo Hall on the NFC team.

"It's great to get to go to the Pro Bowl again in just my second season in the league," Orakpo said in a statement. "I am excited about going to Hawaii, where the Pro Bowl has been for so many years. Last year was fun, but it will be special getting to play in Hawaii. I want to thank all my teammates and coaches for helping me get here, and I also want to thank all of the fans who voted for me."

Glad to see Fletcher going.

Wooooooooooo!


Congrats London, you deserved it.

What was Urlacher's injury?

He had two great games this year, one of which was handed to him by Cutler. He lost games for us too. Tampa was the last one I remember.

One more for the Resume'

Im sure people will still hate D Hall, guy made his case yet again why he deserved to be on the probowl roster. Its truely funny and sad skins fans continue to hate literrally the only true playmaker on this team. It would be nice to include Laron, but he cant stay on the field long enough to be considered.

Fox didn't even try with that broadcast team last night... just brutal. Just like the game I guess.

We just have to realize that some of these younger 'skins fans don't know what it means to have pride in their favorite team. They grow up during the losing years and all they know how to do is to hate on the team and to shoot down any positives the team, or its players receive.
